Whispers of Betrayal (2000)
“Her father, the lack of education, her dismissal from the Army and, more recently, her marriage. A story that was not the stuff of heroism, simply of survival. She’d always followed an uncomplicated code in dealing with these circumstances. Never look back. Fight the next war, not the last.
Of the many names on her long list of confrontations, Colonel Abel Gittings was in no way the most significant. OK, so he had screwed up her career and with it her life-plan, he had humiliated her and been a...t least partly responsible for the vulnerability that pushed her into a disastrous marriage. If she thought about it, he’d been the cause of much of the misery in her recent life. Yet she tried not to think about it. She’d been able, by and large, to put him behind her. Exmoor was a long way from Blandford, and in her world of fractured emotions she’d decided not to waste any more time on Gittings. Out of sight, out of mind.
Trouble was, she was no longer in Exmoor. She was in London. She had spent much of the last few days on reconnaissance in and around Whitehall.MoreLess
